Being the daughter of the most powerful people in a prosperous country has given Octavia numerous responsibilities, burdens, and a target on her back. This target has been constantly aimed at since she was a child and is aimed at again when Octavia, along with others, is abducted by members of the Chrome Rebellion - the most notorious rebel group in the nation's history. Heading the operation is the unstable, unpredictable, loony leader of the rebellion: Shard. And Octavia becomes his personal prisoner.

For the second time, Octavia's life is turned upside down. She must survive the dangers of being a hostage. Dangers range from dodging actual bullets to enduring mental manipulation. She cannot even find solace in being returned home with a ransom payment like the other hostages because Shard keeps her ransom a secret from those trying to get the hostages back. Most of Shard's own Chromies don't know what her price is, either.

Few understand and know how this secret ransom works. But, when Octavia finds out, her life goes from being turned upside down to being completely shattered.

Thank you so much for checking out Shards. This was originally a short story, but ever since I finished it, I thought about expanding on it, and now I am. I plan on making this my first not-short story. 

Don't be afraid to leave a comment and/or a vote. I'd love to hear from you! I hope you enjoy \^.^/

Updates to Shard may be a bit wonky especially when the semester is in because classes gotta come first (as much as I wish they didn't), and I'm still in the writing process for Shards. But it will be my goal/hope to update once a week.All Rights Reserved

Hybrid's Hollow by ImmortalKissvv

Supernatural creatures are real. They are a part of the world now, instead of hiding in the shadows. They want to belong. Will they? When Davyna's mother is killed protecting her from a vampire attack at their home, she vows never to be weak or unprepared again when it comes to ANY supernatural. But when her father is chosen to oversee the integration and safety of the human race within the new world, Davyna is forced to be in the absolute last place she ever wanted to be - and although she sees some good in these creatures, she struggles to accept being among them harmoniously, and chooses to close herself off to most. That is, until she meets a certain werewolf and vampire. As wars brew, secrets arise, and identities are discovered, will Davyna rise up and embrace her place in the supernatural world? Or will she abandon it all for a life of revenge and isolation, that's only filled with pain and intense hate? ______________________________________ [COMPLETED JANUARY 9th, 2021] [18+, some mature content/themes, sex, swearing.] [Sexual themed chapters will be labelled with a disclaimer, and have been written in a way that you can skip these scenes if you prefer.] [Kindness is greatly appreciated!

Meters before impact dad finally caught on to what was about to happen, despite it being day the approaching vehicle's headlights blinded us as our cars breaks slammed on, the sound of the tires melting away as the rubber tires scraped against the pavement filled the air and the scent of burning rubber overwhelmed my nostrils, despite our efforts the brakes didn't slow us down, we were to late.

The Island by AmyJohnson895

"This is The Island, a prison designed for minors like me- too young to be executed, too old to be reformed, and too much of a stain on humanity to let exist. It was 'the answer' to the growing crime rate resulting from a world that was falling apart. The details evade me, but there is one thing I know. The water doesn't seem as scary as it did before." When Jordyn wakes up in the middle of a tropical forest in the mouth of a cat too big to be real, she decides this isn't how she wants to die. The Island has other plans, though. It was designed to kill her, and it will bring out every gun in the arsenal to do so. Her life becomes a game of survival from the mutant and venomous animals, severe temperature changes, and impossible weather scenarios that exist in this government manufactured prison. The twist? She has no idea who she is, where she came from, or why she committed first-degree arson. In this mixture of "The Hunger Games" and "Maze Runner", Jordyn has to unravel the truth before nature kills her- or die not knowing.

Live Wired (on indefinite hold) by RisingStarx

# I will stop publishing my story on wattpad because I'm worried about plagiarism. The world has been destroyed. All that remains is the Ark, and inside it, humans are oppressed by the Eldritch. On the outside, only death awaits thanks to heat so scorching it burns you alive, and cold so chilling, it freezes your retinas in under half a minute. Erin Watts is a 15-year-old human living in the slums of Designated Area No.6. He attends the prestigious Arlington School of Servitude and wants nothing more than having a bright future. Unfortunately, things aren't going his way as of late. His mother, a syred human, is sick and about to die. When she bites the dust, her protection from being syred to an Eldritch master will die with her, leaving Erin unprotected. His school is also starting to suspect he might not come from a wealthy background. And, to top it all off, his Eldritch neighbor wants to rape him and torture him to death. Could it get any worse for him? What can Erin do? How far will he go before he breaks down? Can he beat the system? Find out in this story about oppression, desperation, violence, and a pair of crazy girls. Disclaimer: The girls in this story are not the cliche mindless and submissive Daisies you find around Wattpad. If you are into that, then don't let the door hit you and leave. It also won't have your cliche yanderes.

Gilded Obsession by PebblesPebblesPebs

Alexandria Evergreen, a bored heiress to her dearest father's hotel empire with a penchant for justice on her own terms and too much time on her hands, lives a life of luxury and moral ambiguity. Behind her poised façade lies a dangerous secret: she quite enjoys seeing the life leave the eyes of abusive and perverted men - and the occasional woman - who believe themselves untouchable, operating in the shadows of high society. Clarke Griffin, a struggling law student in her final year, is barely holding her life together. Clarke has just landed an internship at a prestigious law firm, a position she fought hard for. Now all she wants is to graduate, pass the bar exam, and start building her career, following in the footsteps of her late father. From the moment Alexandria lays eyes on a stunning Clarke, she's obsessed. What could possibly go wrong when one is morally grey at best, entirely unhinged and a walking red flag at worst and the other embodies everything Alexandria isn't - pure, principled, and committed to the legal system? I'll be putting trigger warnings below, and I will add to the list as new potential triggers become relevant in the story. Always feel free to let me know if I have missed any. TW: Strong language, blood and gore, murder, sexual content, mature themes, violence, mentions of abuse (of all kinds), sexism, torture, mention of drugs, mention of suicide, absolute toxic, obsessive, and unhinged behavior.

Terra (A Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare FanFiction) by brontideandsough

It has been 40-some years since Captain Nick Reyes and his crew attacked Mars in an attempt to destroy Salen Kotch's reign with the SDF. Now, a new threat of SDF forces has risen, and although Earth has been restored since the attacks, the planet is still in grave danger. A young woman by the name of Terra Sloane escapes Earth after the SDF's deadly attack, heading to Mars. There, the supposed Captain Reyes is still alive, through which a secret no one knows. Though he is supposed to be in a coma-like state, Terra runs into him in the wastelands of Mars after crash-landing. Convincing him to return with her, Terra begins a journey to defeat the high power of the SDF: Colis. His plans to destroy the solar system with the new SDF are more powerful than ever before and it won't be long before the entire solar system is obliterated. With this unexpected journey Terra begins, she learns the truth to more secrets than she thinks possible. With those come betrayal, loss and even a bit of unintentional love. ~~~ This is a work of FAN-fiction, therefore I don't own everything in this story. Terra, the rebels, some ships, Colis and other minor characters are from my mind. There are also some locations, unless specified, that belong to me. Reyes and any parts of the story having to do with the game's original campaign rightfully belong to the creators of Call of Duty games. I only intend to satisfy the needs of fans and readers! :) WARNING: There will be strong language, gore-filled parts and SOME minor sexual talk/activity. Prepare yourselves if you intend to read anyways. ~Began writing July 18, 2017~ -Finished August 12, 2018-

Typhon by meclayton2016

Do secret societies really exist? The Order of the Cronus does, and as an organization that has stood the test of time, it made a person question what exactly it took to make something like that happen. Stone Reputed to love a good confrontation, Stone Lexington was no stranger to always ending up the victor, no matter what it was that he wanted. Born into privilege, wealth, power, and status, Stone's future had already been laid out for him since before he could walk. More than capable of being one of the few men that ruled the world, Stone was more than ready for what awaited him next. Rylee With her entire future ahead of her, Rylee Madden was ready to rock the hell out of her senior year at Hales University. Since Rylee's parents were advocates for education, she'd always known that college would be a part of her future, Hales University being one of the best in the nation. Intelligent, driven, and a bit stubborn, Rylee had been raised to face every challenge that came her way. When secret societies really do exist... Stone Lexington had been prepared to do things his way, but when Rylee Madden slams into his life, everything changes, and The Order isn't happy about it. Rylee Madden had not been prepared for Stone Lexington, or the madness that came with him, but no of that matters when she's faced with the biggest decision of her life. Together, Stone and Rylee find themselves the center of some very dangerous attention, but that doesn't stop them from doing everything necessary to win at all costs. NOTE: This is not a standalone work. It is the first book in a continuous story that spans five books and can be considered a cliffhanger. *NOTE: This book contains adult language, adult situations, and explicit sexual encounters. If sensitive to any of the aforementioned issues, please do not purchase.

PARADISE PARADOX (#1 PARADISE ISLAND duology) by StephRose1201

Sneaking into a campus party shouldn't lead to expulsion, should it? *** Colleges across the U.S. have been on alert because of rioters who all but rendered the American Ivy League universities extinct, after the end of the COVID pandemic in twenty-twenty-five. After their destruction, smaller subsidiaries of those Ivy Leagues have been thriving, thanks to donations and government grants. In twenty-twenty-nine, Junior student Kera Mitchell learns the hard way that it's actually a minor crime to crash a party on campus--it's an invasion of private property. At her university, Valence, there are still severe punishments in place for disrespect to any structures on site. Kera finds out that though she won't be expelled for her party-crashing, she did break a serious rule, and she'll have to pay for it. Along with the party-throwers, hot golden boy Miles, and drug-dealing douche Vick, she's given a punishment none of them expected: they're sent to an unknown, tropical island to learn how to control their erratic behaviors. Like a brainwashing vacation against violence, sex, drugs, and alcohol. Except Kera shouldn't be there--she's as docile as they come, and has never been rowdy and rebellious in her life. Wrong place, wrong time? The island has many secrets, some of which Kera and Miles will stumble upon inadvertently, and that will change the course of the rest of their lives. Will they leave the island unscathed? Will they leave it... at all? ----------- A post-pandemic, post-apocalyptic, paranormal horror novel. Please mind your triggers (gore, language, trauma, violence) Inspired by a dream I had and that I became obsessed with turning into a book.
